Hello Mike,
Please check out the DPMonitor at http://www.deltekonline.com and
http://www.deltekonline.com/faq/indexfaq.htm.

This Monitor will handle Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, & XP) & AIX (4.3 / 5.1) &
Solaris (2.6, 2.7 & 2.8) & even Oracle, as well as individual processes on
these platforms, and has Probes, which are extremely user extensible, easy
to use and configure. All Agents displayed in same user interface - easy to
read dynamic, auto-scaling, colorful graphs. Easy to use remotely and
onsite. Extremely low overhead Agents, and accurate statistics. 10 day
Evaluation license available, (for one Agent, OS level stats only on Eval,
one Explorer - Explorer runs on Windows).

Not a freebie, but extremely reasonable, (new per CPU pricing making the
product more accessible for lower end single CPU systems). Developer is real
sharp, flexible, and responsive to needs/desires.

Worth a look against any monitoring product out there.
